Trivia: This film marked two “lasts” for Disney: – 1) This was the final Disney film in which all nine members of the Nine Old Men worked together on it as directing animators. – 2) It was the last full-length Disney animated film distributed by RKO. All of Disney’s films after early 1954 would be distributed by Buena Vista, as well as all of the post-1954 re-releases of his earlier films.
Goofs: Continuity: When Captain Hook gets kicked on his head by a paddle by Smee, and falls in the water with the Crocodile, the hook changes from direction when Captain Hook swims up to jump on the boat of Smee, while the hook normally has to be on the left hand.
“An adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s story about a boy who never grew up. The three children of the Darling family receive a visit from Peter Pan, who takes them to Never Land, where an ongoing war between Peter’s gang of rag-tag runaways and the evil Pirate Captain Hook is taking place.
